......as we keep the commandments and our covenants with exactness that the Lord strengthens us. The supreme example is the Savior Himself. In Gethsemane, after He renewed His covenant, saying, "Not my will, but thine, be done," "there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him" so that He could endure what lay ahead. On the cross when He uttered the words "It is finished, thy will is done" He became the greatest example in time or eternity of keeping covenants. There would have been no Atonement had the Lord not kept His covenant precisely as He promised. It is the same with us. As we recommit ourselves, the Lord strengthens us to withstand any temptation.
